ABOUT

LCD is the works of Sean Benham and Scott Evans. Upon creation of their debut e.p. release, Ned Baugh was added on drums. Their first single, wine tastes good was recorded in mid November 2001. The sound is a mixture in lo-fi pop, experimental, and psychedelia.

I remember when I was a kid and would lie in my bed and try to figure out what was beyond this planet and universe. I would ask my dad and he would say it's infinite, and then I would think so hard and reason that if I could figure it out I could go on living. Something is beyond the infinite? On a strange evening several years later I reasoned that all of this is just fashioned by the fact that our brains are tuned in to some frequency that allows us to understand general physics. It's all really just a piece of fabric that we 'sane' humans tune in, like a radio station. Mess with the channel and you're back to square one.

LCD is my attempt to recreate the visual effects of closing your eyes and applying a soft pressure to the outside of your eyelids. It is here that 'inner' space travel begins. Swirls, blurred arrays of colors and continual movement consume my consciouness at that point. That is what I strive for when creating sounds for this band. I used to sit in my Algebra classes in middle school and travel to inner space, releasing myself from the mundane world that I have been implanted into.

Originally a singer in Fine Killing Liberty, I felt I needed an instrument beyond voice, and so when the time came to choose an instrument for junior high school band, percussion narrowly beat out my first choice (trumpet). How fortunate for me that Brian W. was there for me to see, proudly signing up for precussion, and therefore putting the idea in my head: "drums, of course, it all makes sense now." Since then I've played in all sorts of combos, made up of friends and acquaintances, many of whom were non-imaginary. I leave it for you to decide into which category falls LCD.
